I need to try my hand in sPvP before I give a final answer, but I hate WvWvW. It might be good fun if you're part of a strong group running around, but if you aren't, prepare to suffer due to the lack of mounts, huge zone, and no teleport points. Spending 5 minutes running trying to find action only to find 5 people roaming around to kick my ass only to return to the very beginning of the zone turned me off of it pretty fast. I also find Orr to be a rather large disappointment, but I went over that in the specific Orr thread.

Agree, the constant running around in WvWvW is killing a lot of the enjoyment there.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who dont.

Well, i'm 80 and i was wondering the same. I logged this morning asking to myself: k, i cannot finish the game, the final reward is bugged, instead of exotics it gives shitty lv30 trash. K i will finish it later.
Let's do map completition. Oh, it's bugged, i cannot. K maybe i will finish it later.
Uhm, let's do this jumping puzzle... when completed, i made some order on my bag and logged off.

I guess I'd be enjoying the (pve-) endgame content - if there even was any.
I absolutely hate the Pvp zergfest at the moment. GW1 had a better pvp model imo. Hope they fix this somehow and add some sense to doing dungeons so it'll keep me busy for some longer, 'cause at the moment, I can't tell where GW2 exceeds any retail RPG - the multiplayer aspect just did not deliver until now.

I'm not even near endgame yet and it will most likely take months before I'm there (I only play weekends and take my time to explore everything, as in look-up lore stuff on the wiki etc.). But if I reached endgame and found nothing to do, well I'll just close the game and wait for a content update, there's no pressure. When I finished Monkey Island 2 I wasn't disappointed that there were nothing else to do, I closed the game and looked forward to playing MI3.

OT: Eh. I played Guild Wars 1 for years. I know the exact style of game Arena.net makes and got exactly what I was expecting out of the sequel. None of the 4+1 Guild Wars games have an endgame in the popular sense. That expectation is either borrowed or marketing.

Well the questions are still contradicting eachother.

I have fun casually playing at lv80. I dip into some WvW, ill probably get into some sPvP aswell. Or i go around Frostgorge or Orr getting into the events, because i enjoy them and to get karma/gold to use for getting gear. There are some pretty big events going on. I dont have world completion yet, so i still run around adventure style now and again, or getting into (jumping) puzzles. There are some pretty cool ones, like the ghost pirate in Lion's Arch. Keep finding more and more of these.

Did a few dungeons runs, but i find the design behind them frustrating. And the idea of having to do the same dungeon a dozen times for one single piece of gear. No thanks, boring.
And whenever i feel like not doing anything at lv80, i can still play one of my several alts. I find plenty of stuff to entertain me, at lv80 and before.

I know this might seem a bit idiotic - but could you amend the poll question to read the same as the thread title. I read the thread title and then clicked "yes" in response to that rather than the poll question.

Silly mistake, I know, but the thread title is the first thing you read and it sticks in your head for the first few seconds.

But anyway - end game is a bit "meh" - levelling was fun, but I don't want to create another character so soon.

EDIT: Just realised that this has already been mentioned in previous posts. Apologies.

I don't think it's lackluster, but it caters to a certain type of people. If you like gear grinds and advancements in stats at max level... you aren't really going to get them unfortunately. If you like to do stuff, and try to do every event, basically you're a completionist, this game has tons of stuff to do.

Then maybe this game isn't what you want it to be. As of right now the main endgame aspect in the game is PvP, there's no denying that. I also prefer PvE over PvP, but there's plenty of other games that has the PvE I like so why don't play them all at once?

I actually didn't even notice when I hit level cap. I probably got another "level" or two of experience before it hit me that I wasn't getting any more traits. The game is simply fun to play and I have tons left to experience.
